2x2 EG1 U 4 algorithm
2x2 EG1 U 4 algorithm: 9 turns, opening with y R' F. Case recognition, the complete sequence, and practical execution notes.
Solve the remaining 2x2 corners when the completed first face has an adjacent swap in its layer.
EG1 U 4 belongs to the U group in EG 1.
Recognize this starting position
In the inverse-derived training position, the upper-face color points upward at these corner positions: UFR, UFL. Reading each side’s upper corner stickers left to right when facing that side gives F: R L; R: F B; B: U U; L: B F. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

The opening is y R' F; the final segment is R2 U' R'. This version contains 9 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
